No, you don't need a co-signer. When you are sponsoring a spouse, you will not be refused because of lack of income.

A co-signer is needed if somebody is sponsoring other relatives, for example parents but doesn't have enough income. Then he can have his spouse co-sign the sponsorship to add her income as well.

Well, if I wanna sponsor my husband and I'm not employed and I don't have an income, but not on social assistance. I'm thinking about making my brother (international student in Canada, not Canadian and with no PR) a co-signer. Can this help my sponsorship eligibility?

No, he can't co-sign. As previous posters stated, there is no co-signers for spousal applications.

Send the forms by courier or post. The signatures need to be originals, not copies. Have her/him send it back the same way.

Hi there, If I sponsor my spouse to canada and If my income is not under the minimum required income as I have a son with me and the family size will be 3 including my spouse. So what will happen?
I have another son who works and can he support me?
And also will it be effected in a bad way if I get child support from my ex husband to sponsor my new husband?
Thanks in advance!! Really appreciate the answers.

Looks like you were sponsored as a Pr by your ex-husband. Do you know that you can’t sponsor another spouse until 5 years from your landing date?

Hello, I don't know how to post a query on this forum , my apologies for being under your post.

My question is this... My husband has turned out to be a fraud and I was used to get permanent residence. We have been married 2+ years and he received his papers in 2019. I have put my name as a co-signor on his application for his child and those haven't come in. DO I have any options or am I basically screwed?

You are responsible for him for 3 years after he landed as pr. So hopefully, he is not going to apply for social assistance.

For his child's application, I think you can still withdraw as a co-signer as long as his child has NOT yet landed in Canada.
If you have the application details (UCI or application number), I believe you can contact IRCC to withdraw yourself as a co-signer on that application.
